Already emboldened by how the January deals for David Perron and Ryan Garbutt have fared, Murray beefed up his forward mix by acquiring McGinn from the Buffalo Sabres and Pirri from the Florida Panthers.

The prices paid weren’t costly. To get McGinn, the Ducks sent a conditional third-round pick for this year’s draft that can become a second-rounder in 2017 if they advance to the conference finals and McGinn plays in at least half of their playoff games.

And in Pirri’s case, Murray only had to part with a 2016 sixth-round selection. McGinn, 27, had 14 goals and 13 assists in 63 games with Buffalo this season while Pirri, who’s recovering from an ankle injury, had 11 goals and 13 assists in 52 games with Florida.

“I’m comfortable with not screwing up the chemistry too much,” Murray said. “I don’t think we did too much. I think both young men we’re bringing in are – from doing our homework and our due diligence – very good kids who get along with everybody, and they’re both very excited to be coming here.

“Again, you can do too much. I think this works. This fits. We’re deeper and we’re very versatile.”

McGinn is expected to make his Ducks debut Wednesday when they host Montreal. He’s a potential unrestricted free agent who’s a likely rental who might re-sign with the Sabres this summer, but the winger has played in the postseason with San Jose and Colorado.

And that matters to Murray, who monitored the gritty forward closely when Buffalo made its three-game California trip last week. “He fits with how we play out here right now,” Murray said. “We know he can play in the West, let’s just put it that way.”

Pirri, 24, has been out since Feb. 13 when he suffered an ankle injury in a game against Nashville. He had a career-high 22 goals last season and Murray said he believes the winger will resume skating in the coming days and might be ready within two weeks.

The only roster player Murray was willing to part with was Maroon, who struggled this season after posting a career-high 34 points in 2014-15. He had four goals, nine assists and a minus-13 rating. The Ducks are getting defenseman prospect Martin Gernat and a fourth-round pick from the Edmonton Oilers.

And there is a financial benefit. The Ducks retained 25 percent of Maroon’s salary but will shed $1.5 million in each of the next two seasons, which could aid Murray in signing a key potential restricted free agents. Vatanen, Hampus Lindholm, Rickard Rakell and Frederik Andersen are all on that important list.

“When we made a couple of moves here today, we had too many forwards here basically, so Patrick was available,” Murray said. “I called (Edmonton GM) Peter (Chiarelli), and it kind of fits into what he’s trying to add to the organization there, so he moved pretty quickly.

“This is a good move for Patrick Maroon, and that’s kind of what I was looking for when I did it.”

There was interest on their part in forwards such as Andrew Ladd, Eric Staal, Loui Eriksson and current holdout Jonathan Drouin. But when it came to being asked about current defender Vatanen or high-end prospects such as Theodore or Montour, Murray said no.

Vatanen is the Ducks’ top scorer on their blue line with nine goals and 34 points. He’ll be due a huge raise – one report had him asking for a six-year deal at $6 million per season, which the Ducks strongly denied – but Murray will take another swing at that contract negotiation later.

“I had lots of calls on certain people on the back end,” Murray said. “I’ve got lots of thinking to do about our defensive corps in the next four months. I wasn’t doing anything today. I want to have a long, hard look at what we’ve got going forward.”

After the Ducks’ 4-2 win Sunday over the Kings, Vatanen said he’s concerned only with what occurs on the ice with his teammates.

“You hear all kinds of things when you come to the rink like that,” he said. “It’s out of my hands. I can’t do anything about that. I can just focus on coming to the rink and enjoy it. Having fun with the boys and play my best.

“I want to be a Duck. That’s my first thing what I want to do. It’s been my favorite team. That’s on my mind. To be here for a long time would be a dream come true.”

The Ducks also traded winger Tim Jackman and a 2017 seventh-round selection to Chicago for minor-league forward Corey Tropp. Jackman had not been with the club since being put on waivers in November and assigned to San Diego (AHL).

Forwards Harry Zolnierczyk was also sent back to San Diego, while Nick Ritchie was assigned in a paperwork move to allow him to be eligible to play for the Gulls if they reach the AHL playoffs.
